Institutions. Courts. Media. Religion. Law Enforcement. Politicians.

The institutions are captured. The courts, media, and politicians are corrupt. Bought and paid for. Law Enforcement are just class traitors. The enforcement arm of Capital. Protecting the interests of the ruling class and taking a bludgeon to the people. Religion is a tool of control. Used to control the ignorant and guide their ire.

Ironically this take is entirely self-validating, since this is the primary mechanism for that degradation.
